Tennis Bracelets

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

What do diamonds have to do with tennis? According to Wikipedia, in 1987 champion tennis player Chris Evert was wearing a thin, diamond bracelet made by famous jeweller George Bedewi. During the match the braclet snapped, and play was halted so that Evert could find the diamonds. From then on, that style of bracelet gained the name ‘tennis bracelet’ and became increasingly popular.

What a great story! We’ve got our own special diamond tennis bracelet letting you save almost £1000 on the RRP.

Diamond Clarity

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Diamonds occur in many different colours, from pink through to brown, orange and blue. However, most diamonds of gem quality appear on a scale from colourless to yellow. The most intensely coloured diamonds are called ‘fancy’ and there’s an increasing market for them. Colourless diamonds have traditionally been popular, especially for engagement rings and the fewer the flaws within the diamond, the more precious the gem.

Diamonds are rated on a special scale, under magnification so that any internal flaws can be seen. Completely colourless diamonds are the rarest and most expensive - diamonds with flaws become more affordable as the number of flaws increase.
